Palmetto Proving Grounds

A week or so ago, I had a tater claim that even if we won 20 in a row, they would still hold the overall series lead, and termed that "domination". I replied that 20 in a row would be complete domination, regardless of what happened in the 1990's and earlier.

Fact is, he's right. And so am I. I guarantee we win 20 straight and nobody is going to care what the overall series record sits at.

The only thing that really matters is "What have you done for me lately?"

Three out of three is total domination in my book...

I've got one answer for Clemmers who want to bring up the series record: "All it means is that you used to have a good program. Meanwhile, we've won 4 of the last 6."

If abo is there for the next 17, we will win them all.

I can understand if Clemson fans pretend to be unimpressed with our recent success in the series. Since 1976 it's been a common occurrence for Clemson to run off 3 or 4 consecutive wins in the rivalry. We'll simply have to prove to them that our current streak is a harbinger of things to come rather than an anomaly.

It is something like 62% I think if you don't count the ties.

Since WWII, it is only 37-27-2 Clemson or 57%.

Yes. That's the best response I've seen. I promise to attribute it if I use it.

all of this plus our 2 National Championships in baseball and they are beside themselves

What happened in the leather helmet era is irrelevant.
Current attitudes, on both sides, are the result of the period 1976-2005, during which Clemson won 22 of 30 games (73%).
All of us lived through at least part of that dark time. Many, like me, bitterly remember all of it.
During that period, there were four occasions in which Clemson reeled off 4-game winning streaks.
So there is no denying that during that era, Clemson dominated. And there is no denying that even with our current three-game win streak, we still have much work to do to approach that level of domination over them.
But, as Robb Stark said to Jamie Lannister, "It's better than three defeats."

No

I absolutely could careless about all time record.

I care about 2 things in the football series.

90 percent- who won last time we played. Don't care if we've won 4 in row and yall stop streak that loss hurts same as losing 3rd in row.

10 percent- my lifetime all time record.

I could care less who win the 1922 game.

But for those saying its not domination or for phatcock saying we got off to good start. You realize every game was played in Cola til 59 or so.
Like 75 percent of the games have been played in Columbia.

But any fan who cites all time record is complete douche. Same with fan who just lost but has won 3 out of last 4 or whatever.
